Ezekiel 33:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ They heard the sound of the trumpet but didn’t ·do anything [heed the warning]. So ·they are to blame for their own deaths [^Ltheir blood will be on their own head]. If they had ·done something [taken the warning], they would have saved their own lives. ⁶ But if the watchman sees the ·enemy [^Lsword] coming to attack and does not blow the trumpet, the people will not be warned. Then if the ·enemy [^Lsword] comes and ·kills [^Ltakes away] any of them, they have died because of their own sin. But I will ·punish [hold accountable] the watchman for their ·deaths [^Lblood].’

⁷ “You, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], are the one I have made a watchman for [^Lthe house of] Israel. If you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them for me.
